When considering what machine to buy, I'd recommend you get the minimum that
will "tide" you over until 2nd - 3rd quarter of next year. Slowly but surely
the 64 bit "Merced" chip from Intel/HP will be introduced, most likely next
year. It will be a Larger magnitude of power increase than Pentium was over
486. It features 64 bit CPU (vs. 32 bit Pentium), a 128 bit bus, 3 levels of
cache, all running at likely 1gig clock speed.... not to mention a thinner
die.
The Merced is the future of computing..... we are at the twilight of the
Pentium so my recommendation would be ......don't invest a whole lot more in
them.
